Today the church, Park Farm, the old Rectory or Wheatfield House, as it is now called, and a few cottages are all that is left of the former village. It can never have been large and by the early 18th century it was no more than a hamlet— 'a pleasantly situated one' as Rawlinson noted. (fn. 5) William Burgess's estate map, drawn in 1700 for Sir Thomas Tipping, then lord of the manor, shows that there were eight houses in the village besides the manor-house. (fn. 6) Two farm houses of which one is now (1960) Lower Farm, lay in the fields to the north of the village and four lay in the south-east on the Adwell boundary. One of these last is at present Upper Farm and another lay close beside it. The old village lay along the road that runs past Wheatfield House and along a branch road to the manor-house, through the park where mounds still denote the sites of a few former buildings. In 1778 there were said to be two farmhouses and eight cottages. (fn. 7)
There is now no ancient manor-house, but something is known both of the 17th-century house and its late-18th-century successor. Since 1594 the Tippings had lived at Wheatfield and when Lady Dorothy Tipping died in 1637 the house is described in her inventory. It consisted of a great parlour, hall, great chamber, drawing-chamber, and five other principal chambers. These seem to have formed the front part of the house. In addition there was a beer cellar, buttery and wine cellar, and nine other chambers, and various offices such as the bakehouse and brewing kitchen. The principal living-rooms, judging from the valuation of the furniture in them—£40 in each case—were the great parlour, the drawing-chamber, and the second chamber. (fn. 8) In 1662 the Tippings returned fifteen hearths for this house; Burghers's map of the county depicts it and the arms of Tipping are given in the border. (fn. 9) William Burgess's map of Wheatfield manor in 1700 shows the house and flower garden lying directly to the west of the church. (fn. 10) The west front of the house, which was T-shaped, faced on to a 'new pond'; a square flower garden lay to the north and to the south were a bowling green, wilderness, warren, walks, &c. The whole covered 29 acres. (fn. 11) In the middle of this garden was the 'new fountain'; there was a new dovehouse to the south-west of the house, and beyond the garden to the north was a hop garden surrounded by a canal. On the map an avenue of trees runs north from the manor-house to Scholar's Bridge meadow on the Tetsworth boundary, but this seems to have been a project which was never carried out. There is no trace of any such avenue now, and the fact that on Burgess's map hedges cut across the avenues makes it probable that it was not then in existence.
